Devstack GlusterFS Plugin
================
# Goals
As part of "stack.sh":
* To install Glusterfs (client and server) packages
* By default all Gluster-[Glance|Nova|Cinder|Manila] integrations disabled. Look at "How to use" section, to know how to enable.
* Configures Glusterfs as a backend for Glance, Nova, Cinder and Manila as per localrc configuration
* Creates Gluster volumes to provide them as storage to Glance, Nova, Cinder or Manila
As part of "unstack.sh":
* Also cleans up the Gluster volumes and data related to Gluster
* Uninstalls the Gluster packages when we run "unstack.sh"
# How to use (localrc configuration)
